People often mischaracterize Alive 2007 as a glorified DJ set because they only hear mashups of songs. Of course these are mashups. But they didn’t merely mix tracks and samples together on decks. Daft Punk completely deconstructed past songs from across their catalog. Then they rearranged their pieces and even made some new synth lines and drum patterns to fill them out. The nuance is evident upon repeated listens. And this video is a perfect illustration of the meticulous nature of their work for the Alive 2007 setlist.
It's funny how you say "Glorified DJ Set" cause this and WWW by Justice are the only good ones for me. This is how it should be done when I can here the songs online for free nowadays. There is no reason (for me at least) to see an EDM DJ live if I have that stuff on CD, vinyl or streaming. A rock band or hip-hop act have distinctions with them live verses in studio that make you want to go their show. An occasional VIP mix doesn't cut it in my opinion.
Because on its own, as an album, it's very rough around the edges. It's very apparent they recorded it over a short span of time (wasn't it few weeks?) and it's not as fleshed out as Homework and Discovery. But yes, Alive 2007 wouldn't be the same without Human After All. And vice versa
human after all is an enetirely diffrent genere then we have ever seen before the album wasent about the sound it was about what it ment saying technoligy can be good but it can also be very bad we are all human kind of talking about racisim that we all alll human and should treat people how we want to be treated great album the only thing wrong with it is songs are to long and prob the best song on there prime time of ur life is to short lol
@@jackiemortes They made it in two weeks. Like yeah it has some cool rhythms and riffs... that they just put on loop for 5 minutes and called it a day. It's the only album from them that has no songs in my playlist. They're just too barebones and repetitive. Of course that makes it perfect for mashups.
The beat during Too Long / Steam Machine is a filtered sample of Television Rules The Nation, a bit like how they used Robot Rock in Touch It / Technologic
the "human" line in robot rock/oh yeah is from human after all around the 3:39 mark, just pitched up and reeeaaally slowed down. the synth line in too long/steam machine is an interpolation of smalltown boy by bronski beat. also i never noticed the phoenix drums in aerodynamic beats so thx for pointing that out :)
To be fair RAM I think wouldn't fit so well being remixed except for like Contact maybe or Motherboard. All the other songs are too much like "real" songs to fit well being mixed with other songs
@@gooeyghoblini The album as a whole just doesn't fit with the other 3 but if they French Housed the songs to make them fit it could have worked probably.
Robot rock, it says human robot. It sounds weird because it's ran through a beat repeater in Ableton. Too long uses 4 mini moog voyager rack mount to create the synth and the song they're playing is actually "tell me why by supermode". Also the bouncy synth used in the overall mixed is actually television rules the nation looped just like from the start only it passes through an auto filter low pass with a sawtooth LFO set to 3/16. I should know since I actually recreated the entire concert perfectly.
perfectly would imply you didn't botch the lfo trigger on too long/steam machine. its cool to provide your insight on how you learned it was created but i wouldn't be claiming to have "recreated the entire concert perfectly" when you haven't
Duude, all these years I thought to myself "wow i really like that shuffled beat in the drops during the encore". At first, I thought it came from the Para One remix of Primetime of Your Life, but clearly not. I knew it wasn't Music Sounds Better With You or Together, as there's more hi-hat shuffle going on that's not in those tracks. So I ultimately gave up. Now it all makes sense that it would be Revolution 909's drum track. OF COURSE lol thank you so much!
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I actually think that there is still one more track that’s been overlooked so far. I think the opening track from Alive 2007, “Robot Rock / “Oh Yeah,” includes Daft Punk’s very own Robot Rock - Maximum Overdrive Mix (which was released on Human After All (Remixes), a 2006 Remix album originally released exclusively in Japan). The Maximum Overdrive Mix part towards the end when the Oh Yeah vocals are mixed in. I think it’s super cool that 2 absolute bangers are included in Alive 2007 from Human after All (Remixes), one of the Daft Punk’s least popular releases. Personally, I love everything the Robots have ever touched, so I love this album, and it’s nice to see it getting some much deserved love. Anyway, thanks for making this much needed list.
hey so real quick for too long/ steam machine youre right that the unlisted track does sound a fair bit like aerodynamic but a lot of people think its a separate song that was just...never released called "Aura rock" well thats what people call it anyway its great and people have removed the crowd in that spot to analyze it better and it slaps
I've recently discovered Revolution 909 and up until this video had no idea that drumline from that song was in the 2007 Alive encore. My mind has been blown and now that encore means so much more now. Thank you
2:21 guys, that melody is from the track "Cry For You" by September, i thought there was going to be someone in the comment section already saying that, its not directly sampled, or so i think, but it is DEFINETELY Cry For You, look it up, its an identical melody, you guys are young

2:35 Aura Rock is a remake of the arp from Small Town Boy by Bronski beat, not aerodynamic One more time/aerodynamic also uses the synthline from superheroes but downpitched and with the same synthesizer as aura rock's
"Aura Rock" as it's commonly called, is not the guitar from Aerodynamic. It's an entirely original synth line specifically made for Alive 2007.
this synth line is actually a sample from bronski beat - small town boy!!

The encore track is up there in my top ten favourite songs of all time, so its nice to see it unpacked in such an easy way here

it isn't from supermode, is from Bronsky beat
Given their recent release of behind the scenes studio recordings I'm sure they had plenty of unused audio samples of theirs to use for this.
the too long/steam machine synth part isn't Aerodynamic, it's sample from Bronski Beat - "Smalltown Boy", near the end.
It's not a sample, it's an interpolation.
it sounds like the intro to "extra dry" one of thomas' solo tracks
The human sample comes Indeed from Human After all, it Comes from the end section of the song
Nice catch!

At the 1:09 mark, you also hear Walkman by SebastiAn
4:42. The song included here is 100% new, it's actually a remix of 'Forget the World'. It's *not* Phoenix.
It’s the Phoenix beats

someone has said that it's neither smalltown boy or cry for you but tell me why by supermode
On the last track you forgot to mention the track 'together' by Together (Thomas Bangalter and DJ Falcon) and music sounds better with you by stardust
The album info has always listed both those tracks. This video focuses on unlisted ones
Have you thought of doing this for Woman Worldwide by Justice or their live albums?
In too long steam machine, the pluck at the start makes something very similar to the melody of Da Funk at some point
I hate the fact that i was only 1 year old when this concert was being done, please i want go back in time... Let me see this concert...
Daft punk samples their songs that they used samples on
This information is wrong. The synth line in too long/steam machine in 2.25 is not from aerodynamic. It's from bronski beat - small town boy
Alive 2007 is a masterpiece
2:27 true but that's not aerodynamic, everyone has called it Aura Rock but it actually is just a remake of a different song I cannot remember it for the life of me
Bronski Beat’s Smalltown Boy.
robot rock/touch it/technologic/oh yeah/voyager
There was one from the 2006 live from the coachella set. I just call it Technologic/Around The World/ Too Long.
2:26 it's Aura Rock they take a sample from Smalltown Boy by Bronsky Beat
It's not a sample, it's an interpolation.
Well, I'll be damned
In the first track the vocals syinh human are from the human after all song in 4:38
Well, the disclaimer should know that I don't listen to anything but the " Alive 2007 " album. I heard it at least 30 times
6:15 actually, the 'human' line sounds like it was taken from the human after all song, and i think they might have pitched it down for the beginning 0:29

@@account-x47b383 I wouldn’t call it sampling themselves but more like using the same product remember they had 2 weeks to record the album
